Esther110, 5 years agoDunno, Pop.
The person that sold it to me didn't know anything about it either.
I've searched the web, and someone once told me it was a third world childcraft and very rudely told me off (!!) but I haven't been able to find anything.

Esther110, 5 years agoIt's about 12 inches long (total length).
I am trying to follow Pop's lead, and you are an expert in trench art.
It would be great to find some info about this knife.
Thanks for looking! :)

It certainly is interesting, but I suspect it is more of a novelty item than a trench art piece.

Esther110, 5 years agoNo markings, and as for the metal, I have no idea. Someone on another web nearly had me burnt on a stake, she said it was an african child craft, made by recycling scrap metal, but I can't find anything in that direction either.
And just for the record, I bought it at a flea market, and have nothing to do with child labor...

scottvez, 5 years agoMaybe the design on the blade led her to that conclusion?

I don't blame you for buying-- it is an interesting object. And without any information to suggest the "child labor" claim, I think the purchase was reasonable!

Good luck researching,

Scott

Esther110, 5 years agoThanks!! If you think of any new leads I can follow, please let me know.

vanskyock24, 5 years agoyes esther one thing you will realize is pops isnt the most reliable source on here he hasnt figured out yet if he dont know something its best not to say anything

Esther110, 5 years agoPop is Pop...I just followed his lead. This time it was a probable dead-end.

Someday I will know the story of this knife. :)

vanskyock24, 5 years agoto be honest with u esther it is prob more of a tramp / folk art piece would be my guess which bring good money

Esther110, 5 years agoThanks vanskyock! I don't really care about value, I just want to know what I have. It's a great conversation piece.
